DREAMS ONCE SHATTERED: another sonnet

DREAMS ONCE SHATTERED: another sonnet


Our dreams are feeble and intangible,
We can’t redeem them if they get shattered.
But why should loss of dreams be so real?
This question cannot be fully answered.

We do receive and do lose every day,
Not only dreams but also varied thoughts.
In honesty we cannot in fact say
That due to such loss more poor are our lots.

Indeed dreams shattered too can be useful,
They teach our roots should be quite firm in ground.
Else we would simply make our life awful,
If loss does always in our mind abound.

The dreams are also important like sleep,
But loss of dreams should never make us weep.
